Chapter 1960 - 1961: Lin Chen's Fury
Qian Jin's expression was somewhat ferocious, making Li Ping and the others feel a bit uneasy.Qian Jin said word by word:
"You can't blame anyone else; if you must blame, blame yourselves for knowing that scum Lin Chen!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Wan'er and Li Ping both had a flash of realization.
Lin Chen's talent is astonishing, and his combat power exceeds normal expectations. Such a genius inevitably competes with others for cultivation resources, making it not unusual to form grudges in secret.
Moreover, Qian Jin looks like a narrow-minded person, but Lin Chen's strength is formidable and difficult to control, so he directly targets Mo Wan'er and Li Ping.
Mo Wan'er was somewhat indignant and said directly:
"Qian Jin! You're being too petty! Just because Lin Chen's strength surpasses yours and he stole your spotlight, you resort to revenge?"
Mo Wan'er's words were not without basis; after the sect tournament, Lin Chen's reputation skyrocketed, surpassing the previous top five from the outer sect. A saying has spread subtly, suggesting Lin Chen's strength far exceeds that of Qian Jin and others.
These words naturally reached Qian Jin's ears, and he already harbored resentment towards Lin Chen. As a result, he became eager to eradicate Lin Chen, feeling that even the disciples' once respectful glances have turned peculiar.
Undoubtedly, Qian Jin's rush to kill Lin Chen is related to these sentiments.
But he certainly would not admit it; instead, he glared at Mo Wan'er and said:
"Hehe! Mo Wan'er, do you believe that I could kill you right now!"
Mo Wan'er's expression changed; she could sense the actual killing intent emanating from Qian Jin.
Immediately, Li Ping spoke up:
"Qian Jin! Don't push people too far! If Lin Chen finds out, he won't spare you!"
"Hahaha! Do you really think Lin Chen would come here under such circumstances? The strongest of the outer sect are gathered here; I'm only afraid he won't come!"
Just as Qian Jin was feeling smug, suddenly a cold voice rang out:
"Sorry, to disappoint you!"
Upon hearing this voice, Qian Jin's face changed, and the others looked in a different direction with strange expressions.
At this moment, Lin Chen's heart was full of anger. Since he detected the anomaly here, he rushed over nonstop, only to find Qian Jin threatening Mo Wan'er and Li Ping.
Previously, Lin Chen only considered Qian Jin to be narrow-minded and petty, but he never expected him to threaten his friends.
Of course, this is also because Lin Chen has been continuously cultivating without going out, unaware that his fame in the Tianjian Pavilion's outer sect has completely overshadowed Qian Jin. He is now a rising star, while Qian Jin has become a mere example for comparison.
Lin Chen didn't understand Qian Jin's extremities, but now Qian Jin has crossed his line!
Mo Wan'er and Li Ping were friends Lin Chen met after entering the Tianjian Pavilion, and he considered them friends from the bottom of his heart. Yet, to control him, Qian Jin restrained both of them.
Seeing Lin Chen show up, Qian Jin immediately stepped forward, his divine energy swirling, leaving Mo Wan'er without any resistance.
Qian Jin placed one hand on Mo Wan'er's delicate neck, his divine energy pulsing as if he could instantly kill her.
"You're courting death!"
And upon seeing Qian Jin's actions, Lin Chen immediately raged; if initially, he only wanted to teach Qian Jin a lesson, now he harbored the intent to kill.
However, Lin Chen soon became expressionless again, coldly staring at Qian Jin, saying:
"Qian Jin, I advise you to release Mo Wan'er immediately, or I will make you regret it!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin revealed a vicious smile:
"Hahaha! You want me to release them? Alright! Beg me! Beg me, and I'll let them go!"
"You're seeking death!"
Even with Lin Chen's strong will, veins were popping on his forehead, his fists clenched within his sleeves.
Qian Jin chuckled sinisterly, then shouted at the others:
"Hey! Lin Chen is right before you! He is the thief who stole the millennium stone-heart milk! If not for that, how could he win the first place in the sect tournament? The rewards originally belonged to the five of us, but he took them all. The prior trip to the heavenly pool was the same, seizing our opportunity to enhance his strength! Such a treacherous person deserves to be punished by everyone! Why are you still hesitating? Capture him, as he carries plenty of treasures, including the first-place rewards of the sect tournament in his storage ring!"
The few who were initially hesitant became resolute upon hearing that Lin Chen possessed valuable treasures, casting dangerous glances at him.
However, in one corner, Chu Hanrou appeared somewhat hesitant, seemingly contemplating something.
At this point, Wu Lang couldn't contain himself and said:
"Alright! Everyone, now that things are clear, Lin Chen is the thief who stole the millennium stone-heart milk! Given this, let us join forces to capture this rogue!"
Seeing Wu Lang's righteous demeanor, Lin Chen couldn't help but smirk coldly:
"Hehe, that's a good excuse indeed! You people covet my treasures, provoked by that scoundrel Qian Jin, and expect to challenge me? You've been manipulated and don't even realize it, yet still babble incessantly. Truly pathetic!"
"You!"
Being mocked by Lin Chen made Wu Lang's previously cold face turn a bit unnatural, though he quickly regained composure:
"Hmph! Lin Chen, even if you talk nonsense today, it won't change anything! Today is your last!"
"Everyone! Attack together!"
With those words, Wu Lang took the lead, drawing a long knife and charging at Lin Chen, the blade shimmering with a chilling light, the knife qi cutting across, his strength clearly reaching the peak of the Divine Warrior ninth realm.
Swiftly, Wu Lang unleashed his might, his divine energy erupting, and a thick knife qi slashed diagonally at Lin Chen, its momentum striking fiercely.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chen snorted coldly, revealing his cultivation at the unmistakable Divine Warrior seventh realm, and with a flip of his hand, the Tianyan Ancient Sword appeared. With a burst of momentum, a surge of sword qi divine energy erupted, the dark golden sword qi emerging, suppressing Wu Lang's knife qi faintly.
Yet, Wu Lang paid no heed, leaping high and shouting:
"Take this move! Slash Thunder!"
